Reward Your Successes

If you´re trying to make big changes, reward the little ones. Simple daily rewards for meeting your daily goals will help you to make big changes gradually. What can you use as rewards? Anything that you value. Perhaps a little quiet time to yourself? Time to read a good book (even 20 minutes!)? Look for ways to treat yourself well.

Study Tip: Timing

Try to study at the same time each day. By setting a discrete period of time aside for studying each day, your mind gets used to the pattern and it becomes easier to work during that time. You'll spend less time warming up and more time effectively studying.

Analyze your stress patterns

Break Those Bad Habits

One of the best ways to break a bad habit is to imagine someone close to you behaving in the same manner. Make the image of the habit at its worst possible and imagine how you would feel and respond to a person close to you behaving this way.

A Fun Way to Improve Memory

Playing video games can increase your brain power-- especially your memory. Games that ask you to manipulate objects in space (like Tetris) actually increase the size of your hippocampus, the part of your brain that is used for memory.

Relax

Take time to relax. People are always so busy doing things, they forget the importance of relaxation or "doing no thing" Take this time to get to know yourself. At a minimum set aside an hour each day, just for you.

Study Often, Not Longer

Psychological research shows that the more often you are exposed to material, the more likely you are to recall it later. This means that you need to have more study sessions, not necessarily longer study sessions. A 45-minute study period for four days a week will be more effective (and less exhausting!) than one 3-hour block.

Anger

If you feel anger, this is generally because someone or something is blocking you from what you want. Decide how to get past the block in a healthy way, or how to get along well without what you want.

Help in Saying No

When conversing with others, take time to validate their points. This is especially important when you must answer no to a request or favor. Acknowledge that they're right, you see their point, but… and then fill in why you can't be of more help.

Go With the Flow!

To be happy, find your flow. People tend to be happiest when they are so absorbed in an activity that they think of nothing else. What is your flow activity? What activity do you get lost in and lose track of time, forget, or get completely absorbed by? Take time and make a list of those activities that get you into the flow. Then take some time regularly to do them!

Boost your Energy with Laughter

Take a break and have a laugh with some friends. Cruise a humorous website, and the comics. Laughing forces you to take in more oxygen, providing an energy boost. It also releases endorphins, which cause you to feel great.

Sleep is essential for forming new memories. Research has shown that people who stay up all night after learning a new task are less likely to remember it in the morning than those who get adequate sleep.

Water to Beat Cravings

Before you cave into a craving and over-indulge in a sweet treat, drink water and try to wait 20 minutes. Sometimes cravings are not as strong as they seem. Dehydration can also trigger a craving, so drinking water is a good idea.

Stress and Memory

Chronic stress is not only bad for your health and well-being, but it´s bad for your brain too. High levels of stress hormones can shrink the parts of the brain that are responsible for memory and can speed up the aging of brain cells.

Remember Names

If you find it difficult to remember names, always look at the person when they tell you their name and repeat it back to them by saying, “It's nice to meet you, Jenna.” Try to attach their name to something distinctive about them to make it easier to remember.

Remember Appointments

Have an appointment that you need to remember? Try to use all of your senses. Write the appointment down, then read it out loud. Use your eyes, ears, and your voice to ingrain the appointment and make it harder to forget.!
